| ::::As listed in the article, these were national rankings from a now defunct panel. The page isn't intended to be rankings of the current Melee landscape, but about the panel and its rankings. Whether they are accurate or not now is irrelevant. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 17:49, 19 December 2011 (EST)

| :::::The issue here is that there is no proof that the information here was based off of the Smash Panel, or if the Smash Panel even existed. If we don't know that Masked Marth didn't make these rankings himself, then we shouldn't keep this page.

| ::::::Previous post was aimed at Anon to tell him how his post was irrelevant. For sources, as you may find out, the SmashWiki back then (where all those crap smasher articles came from) were pretty bad about sources. About every old article like this lacks sources. Despite that, they don't have accuracy issues (outside the vanity smasher pages of course).

|
| |
| ::::::With that said, considering how long this been around, the seeming accuracy of the information, and the fact it was last updated by a respected admin (who did source it in their link, just that link doesn't work anymore), I don't think this article should be deleted solely due to the lack of sources. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 18:35, 19 December 2011 (EST)

| :::::::In any case we need to know whether this is even notable in the first place. This article was made in 2006, back when SmashWiki was still part of SmashBoards. What is notable within Smashboards is not necessarily notable here.

| ::::::::A national power ranking is unquestionably notable to a wiki covering competitive play. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 20:37, 19 December 2011 (EST)

| On AiB, I contacted Hyuga, one of the panelists of this PR, and this was his response:
| |
|
| |
| ''Hiya,''
| |
|
| |
| ''Yes indeed, over the course of about a year or so (most of 2006, the year Melee was on the MLG Pro Circuit), we would meet every so often on private forums to discuss the rankings. This looks like the very last edition of the list we did, I can't remember if we did 4 or 5. Also some panelists were added/removed as time went on.''
| |
|
| |
| ''I don't know if the thread for these rankings still exists, as it would have been created over 5 years ago, and SWF has undergone many major overhauls since then. I tried searching for them but they're either in an inaccessible forum, or deleted, but I'm guessing the former. But I'll keep up the search, I may have logs from chat rooms that have old lists and such, and I'll let you know if I find anything.''

|
| |
| ''Let me know if you need anything else, I'm happy to help.''
| |
|
| |
| ''- Sheridan''

| This should confirm the validity of the article, and would explain why Mousehunter was unable to find any threads about this. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 03:29, 20 December 2011 (EST)

| :As it's confirmed that these rankings are legitimate, I see no reason to delete this page. However, it needs to be stated in the article that these rankings are from 2006, and therefore outdated.
